May 6 - June 10, 2023
From Prizer Arts & Letters:
“This new show by Austin-born artist Caroline Wright traces her experience postpartum—twice!—during the pandemic. While navigating isolation, uncertainty, and emotional upheaval, Wright found her way, through the garden and the body. Nature and movement anchor her large-scale works on canvas. The exhibition also includes dance videos, ink portraits, and a 16-foot painted-over stage set titled, “Birth.” Join us for a reception with the artist on Saturday, May 6th, from 6pm to 9pm.
About the artist: Caroline Wright dances across her large abstract paintings, bringing music and movement into the visual field. A native Austinite, Wright received a BA from Brown University, and an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After Brown, Wright moved to Paris and lived in an abandoned state building in Belleville, with artists from all over the world. This imprinted in her the path of a life made through and for art-making. Wright returned to Austin in 2007 to participate in the art community of her hometown. She loves encouraging artists to take up space, explore deeply, and make a living with their art. As a new mother of two, Wright now considers the revolutionary and subversive potential in caretaking, creating, and talking openly about the mess that makes us.”
